Write a Review of The Spirit of Things Podcast

girijad83, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: girijad83 from India

The Spirit of Things podcast by Rachael Kohn is the podcast of the program with the same name aired on Australia's ABC radio national, which can be found at www.abc.au/rn. The podcast starts with a song inspired by nature, which is sung melodiously. The podcast is an adventure into spirituality and religion, and how it is related to culture, art, music, rituals, and sacred texts.

The podcast contains interviews with people who have either been studying these topics for a long time, or generally have been affected by their faith during troubled times. It is not restricted to any specific religion, but draws powers from every religion and faith, and the underlying sense of communal harmony that is essential to bring about in today's world of destruction, greed, and power.

Rachael has a very clear voice, and the interviews are held face-to-face, which makes this podcast stand out from those that carry their interviews on the phone, making it difficult to understand the speaker. The only drawback that I found with this podcast is that the total volume of the podcast is a bit lower than it should be.

Author: ABC Radio National
Sun, Jan 17, 2010


Jane Stork, a young Western Australian married woman paid one of the highest prices for following a popular guru of the 1970s and 80s, when she was convicted for conspiracy to murder in 2006. The Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (1931-1990) attracted thousands of followers in the 1970s and 80s, known as Orange People or Rajneeshees. But he also stirred controversy and in the mid-80s a host of legal and criminal issues caused the breakdown of his experimental town, Rajneeshpuram, in Oregon, U.S.A. Jane Stork tells her incredible story as a Rajneeshee, while engineer Rob Curtis, a late-comer to Rajneeshpuram, explains why it remains a happy memory for him.
